    "description": "Morrow \u2013 a clerkish, middle-aged type encumbered with a chain-smoking dying aunt and a considerable talent for wallowing \u2013 is at a loose end when, on two separate occasions, he is beckoned up the stairs of an empty Dublin house. The first is an offer of dubious work, and Morrow soon becomes caught up in a conspiracy to authenticate a series of fake paintings. The second, possibly even odder, is an offer of a love \u2013 of a sort. Written in typically luminous prose and featuring a rich cast of characters, Athena is a paean to art, painting, and love, in all its mercurial richness.",
